Asthma Healing

When the body is low on water, it tries to conserve it and the lungs are one of the main areas that lose water as it vaporizes and leaves the body in the process of breathing.

Regulation of water conservation is one of the little known functions of histamine. The increased histamines, trying to conserve moisture loss, cause chronic inflammation in lung tissue. The lungs muscular performance constricts making it hard to breathe, signalling you to drink more water!

Antihistamines from the drug companies open bronchial tubes, making it temporarily easier to breathe, but they are simply suppressing the body’s extreme cry for water and re-hydration with extreme side effects like cardiovascular collapse, tremors, seizures, sleep apnea and reduced mental alertness.

Instead of always reaching for an inhaler, sit down, be calm and drink two glasses of water instead. Keep your inhalers with you but use it less and less and drink water more and more throughout the day.
